Chapter 2

A/N: hello~~ I'm back~~ here's the second chapter~~ please enjoy~~
-------------------------------------

The space shuttle swallowed the escape capsule and Matt's crew. It then started to glow and vibrate, and seconds later it turned into a flash of light and disappeared. Matt was carried into a room and tied to a bed, and was put into a caplet-like chrysalis. Matt regained consciousness, but could only stay awake barely. He thought he saw something looked like human, but with pointy head, and muttering something he couldn't understand. He couldn't stay conscious any longer, the chrysalis seemed to sucked away his energy. His body slowly went soft, and fainted once more, and everything went black again.

"You must not resist!!"

"You must fight!!"

"Choose life instead of death!!"

"HUMAN MUST NOT EXIST!!"

"ARRRGGGGHHHH!!!!" Matt screamed with awful pain circulating. And another pain pierced through his body again, it felt like his bones and muscles were being squeezed and hit from every direction, solidifying. He couldn't breathe, the blood was pounding his brain like it was going to explode. He opened his eyes as they bulged, gasping for air. He started to struggle, trying to get rid of the ropes that was tying him to the bed, but he found out they weren't ropes, they were some sort of purple veins, and what scared him even more was that they were all alive. Every time he struggled, the veins wrapped around his body tighter, and at the third time he tried to pull them off, the veins finally got tight enough to stop him from getting rid of them, he couldn't breathe, he was going to die, again, at least that's what he thought. And then everything stopped completely. The pain stopped and the veins let go of him. He was confused and really scared, and without warning the bottom of the chrysalis split open and he slid to the floor. He found out he was in a room, but it was beating softly like a heart. Matt knew that either he was dreaming or he was inside a gigantic creature's stomach, he looked around, and pinched his face really hard. He felt the pain and his face swollen all. He cursed under his breath just as a tall, thin figure walked in. Matt and the tall figure stared at each other for a while, and it opened his mouth, a terrible screechy came out of it.
"HOLY SHIT!!!! MY EARS!!!!!" Matt shouted as he covered his ears with his hands. The screech stopped and the tall figure looked down at him, and a few seconds later he spoke again. This time, in English. "My apologizes. I thought you're an Abhuman from the Clonearth." Said the tall figure with an English accent. Matt was too shock to say anything. He stared at the tall figure and slowly stood up. He was no taller than its legs. "I.....only want to know four things. Where am I? What happened to me? Who're you? And where're my crew?" He asked carefully. The tall figure bent down and had a closer look of him. And Matt found out it had two really big eyes and had no mouth. "I thought all human are selfish and impolite. You impressed me, Matt Leethin." Said the tall figure. "All those we connected before were all very rude, very rude indeed." Said the tall figure, standing straight again. "You haven't answer my questions, un...sir." Said Matt. "Alright, but before I start, please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Jack Furry, from the Archesoul, my human name. My origin name is," He spoke in a language Matt couldn't understand, it sounded like human talking in water. "Alright. Now, the first answer is, in the middle of the universe." Said Jack. "In the middle of the universe?!?!" Matt repeated, surprised. "Yes, the very middle of it." Said Jack. Matt's mouth was still open, eyes widened as well. Jack, Matt thought, smiled, and opened a door and gestured to him to follow. They left the room and before their eyes was a wide window. A large Black Hole was not far away from them, and at least millions of planets were orbiting the it. Matt's mouth fell opened again. "This is the place where everything began." Said Jack. "You mean......"
"Yes, this is where the Big Bang happened." Jack said with a proud expression. "Wow.....unbelievable..." Matt muttered. "Okay, second answer. We gave you an urgent surgery." Said Jack. "What?? Surgery??" Matt asked, thinking about the veins and chrysalis that almost killed him. "Yes, we must strengthen your body. We intensified your muscles and bones in order to keep you alive here." Said Jack. "Why?? I'm feeling alright now." Said Matt. "That's because of the surgery. Our environment's gravity and air pressure are away stronger than yours on Earth. It's about 30g here now." Said Jack. "Ehhh???? 30g?!?!?! Seriously?!?!?!" Matt exclaimed. "Yes, 30g. Now, question three, who am I? I believe I just answered you. Answer number four, your crew are in another Resurrection Room, that's the room you were in, being treated." Said Jack. "So......they're not dead, right?" Asked Matt, still a bit worry. "Almost. They were almost dead, but yes, they are still alive. Though they might not be awake within ten days." Said Jack, and Matt sighed in relief. "And lastly, there's a thing I want you to remember." Said Jack. "What is it?" Matt asked, feeling lighter and happier than before. "This area, is called The Beginning, do not forget its magnificence, and do respect every planet you've been on, and do not ever think of abandoning the planet you lived on, every planet is unique, irreplaceable and alive. Always be grateful and never give up on hope." Said Jack. Matt looked at the tall figure, suddenly became more stern and serious. He looked at him in the eyes and nodded firmly.
"I swear I will never abandon Earth, and will always be grateful for letting us live on her. And I will always remember this great, mighty area." Said Matt, also very serious. Jack nodded with satisfaction and gestured to him to follow again. He followed and walked beside him. "Now I'm taking you to the Judges." Said Jack, stopping at the wall. "The Judges?? Why?? Did I broke a law or something?" Matt asked, slightly. "No, you didn't. It's our law says that if we encounter human, no matter alive or dead, we must bring them to the judges." Said Jack, and a door appeared, and he walked in the elevator-like room, and Matt followed. There was another creature there. "Hey, Winston." Said Jack simply. The fat, oily, sticky creature turned and looked at him. "Hmp, Jack. What brought you to the Resurrection Room?" Said Winston harshly, and he saw Matt. "What're you looking at?? Punk??" Winston snapped at him. "Nothing! Just...never thought a creature like you would exist." Said Matt, backing away slightly. Winston closed up to him, almost nose to nose. "I warn you now, punk! Don't you think you human are the creature with highest intelligence! You are the lowest in the universe! You know where I'm from??" Said Winston in a threatening tone, Matt shook his head. "I'm from the Inmuo! One of the toughest planet of the universe! The average pressure and gravity is 50! And the average temperature is 0 °K! But we can also live in lava if we want! Heard that?? In comparison with our planet, your earth, pressure and gravity are only 1g, average temperature 20 °C, yours is nothing! Look at me like that and I'll treat you with my Zanbah!!" Winston snarled just as they arrived at his destination, and he walked away. "Holy mother fucking shit...." Matt cursed, the smell of Winston was still in the elevator, making him want to throw up. "I'm sorry, the second person you met has a bad temper." Said Jack. "It's...it's fine. By the way what's Zanbah??" Said Matt. "It's the mixture of his filth, mucus and dandruff." Said Jack calmly, and Matt covered his mouth with both his hands. This time he really threw up, and he stopped them in his mouth and swallowed it back. "Do you...need a bag?" Asked Jack, Matt could tell he's laughing now. "Urgh...no thanks.... Back to wha we were talking about. What kind of law is that?? Doesn't even make sense." Said Matt, frowning. The elevator started to move again. "Well, long story short, it was all because of your attitude toward your planet, Earth." Said Jack. The elevator vibrated, and changed direction, from the scenery outside, it was at least traveling at the speed of sound. "I knew it! That's what I've been thinking about!!" Matt said, clutching his fists. "Ever since I became an astronaut, I found out the high-positioned and governors's attitude toward Earth is very negative. They thought based on our technology it's not a problem to live on the present Earth. But Earth is changing too fast, it forced them to send us out to find a new planet that's capable of living on!! But that's not right! Is it?? Our Earth raised us for 4.6 billion years!! And we just abandon her like that??" Matt said, shaking, Jack stared at him, not saying a word. "I have a theory. We, human, are the parasites, and Earth is our host, and we're killing her." Matt finished just as the elevator stopped, and the door opened. They walked out the elevator. "Here we are. The Main Center." Said Jack. Matt looked, again, astonished. There were hundreds of thousands of creatures at The Main Center. Some were large, some looked very soft, some were liquified, some were solidified, some looked like human, some looked like animals and insects, and some looked like they were given birth under a nuclear explosion. There were too many spices here. "How do you think?" Asked Jack. "I....don't know... I never thought there's this many creatures in the universe." Said Matt, still hadn't recovered from the shock. "We'd better get going." Said Jack, started walking away. "Wait! One more question." Said Matt, and Jack stopped. "How did they get here?" Asked Matt. "We travel by space shuttles, capsules and teleport. But most of us get here by the White Hole. Just locate the wavelength of your destination, and the Bridge will open. Okay, we're running out of time, let's go." Said Jack, and Matt, who wasn't really certain about what Jack just said, followed. He was brought to a court, and they stopped at the entrance. "From now on, it's on your own. They will ask you questions, just follow your heart and answer them honestly, and you will be unharmed." Said Jack, Matt nodded and entered the court. He was taken to a room. Inside the room were The Judges and the jury. The judge in the middle gestured to him to sit down. "Mr. Matt Leethin, from Earth. We, Feeling, Yonshuan, and Yu, will be judging you. Do you know why you are here??" Asked the judge in the middle, Yonshuan. "Yes, Jack Furry explained." Said Matt. "Good, then it'll be easy. Do you love the earth?" Asked Yonshuan. "Yes, I do." Answered Matt.
"Would you, if there's a method, save the earth?"
"Yes, I would."
"Would you sacrifice yourself if that could save the earth?"
"Yes, I would. I'd do it without hesitation."
"What is your opinion about the present earth and human?"
"I my opinion is that we are parasites, and Earth is the host." Said Matt, and the jury started getting noisy. "Quiet down, please." Said Yonshuan. "Can you said it again more specifically?" Asked Yonshuan. "Yes. We're like parasites, killing the earth. But I want to find a way to stop it, a way to stop being parasites and become symbionts. I know it sounds crazy, but that's my dream. And I know earth may be polluted badly now, but I still think there must be a way to stop the pollution. I really want to save the earth, that's all I wanna say." Said Matt firmly. The three judges had a little conversation. "Very well. Case concluded. Take him to the YPHS." Yonshuan announced, and two muscular creature walked to him and brought him away. "This time, the Engorgers will not be pleased." Said Yonshuan. "The Redeemers finally has got a chance." Said Feeling. "No matter what, this will only turn out to be a great event." Said Yu.

"The universe has started to change."
